the 2012 presidential election is unusual. it is a crisis election like 1932 or 1980, with the american people knowing we're at a turning point and knowing who we pick now really matters. but crisis elections tend to bring drama, a broad sense of excitement and passion. we're not seeing that this year. we've not seen political genius in mr. obama, whether you will vote for him or not, you know you haven't seen it. he seems to view politics as his weary duty. something he had to do on his way to greatness. as for mr. romney, it is a commonplace in punditry to implore him to speak clearly of where he'll go and how and why we should follow. what does this all suggest? voters this year will tend to be practical in their choice and modest in their expectations, which isn't all bad, but joy would be a lot more fun. i would say, passion and a clear division between the direction of this country, between these two candidates, would really help. >> oh, no doubt about it. you were talking to me about this offcamera a couple weeks ago, w
